He says things in public that others say only in meetings and one-day-to-be subpoenaed emails and for that we should be thankful.
The explanations he offers for his actions are false of course even if he describes the actions themselves quite openly. A clever ploy; in a just Universe it would land him, eventually, in hell.

Intel CEO admits: jobs aren't coming back to US By Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco Posted: 05/10/2003 at 20:11 GMT
They're calling it the 'jobless recovery' - but it's a misleading phrase. New jobs are being created in the tech sector, only CEOs are making sure they're in China and India, not at home in the United States.

His honesty is commendable, and Grove has done the industry a service if he can alert complacent politicans. But Grove all but admitted that he was part of the problem. Intel's CEO Craig Barrett said recently that 1,000 new jobs created by Intel since the crash were offshore, in India and China. Grove said CEOs faced a conflict between generating profits for shareholders and "doing the right thing for the country".
